TheSuperNerd:
The Bank-on Candidates to be Osimhen's genuine back-up especially as regards how we play in attack now...

The "bonafide" options:

- David Okereke

- Sadiq Umar

- Peter Olayinka

- Cyriel Dessers

- Kelechi Iheanacho (once that January move happens and he gets playing again and keeps showing good form)







The Dark horse Option(s); In with a chance probably in the long run if they step things up:

- Stephen Odey

- Josh Maja

- Taiwo Awoniyi





The "Manage-manage/mediocre" options (Not suited to how we play in attack):

- Ebere Paul Onuachu

- Simy Nwankwo

- Anthony Ujah
Let's be honest; Iheanacho should be under category 2 & 3 above

IN A FRIENDLY we would manage at least a win, a couple or more draws and at least a loss. Overall, an average score.
BUT IN A TOURNAMENT I can't be very confident yet....

The way y'all think that Collins will start in the afternoon, because according to you guys he's a sure banker to start as long as Rohr is coach.
Even Etebo won't say this. I'm sure he Knows that he now has work to do.

This is not the era of local coaches where senior team players just stroll into start line ups , even though there are better performing and deserving players. This time around, you are as good as your current form, and no more guaranteed spots. Rohr has shown us this time and time again
Agreed without reservation

They are currently second in their Euro 2020 qualifiers table and are on the verge of qualifying

On another note. What are the chances of the Super Eagles if we should play the following teams (in a friendly or tournament)?

1. England

2. Portugal

3. Croatia

4. Austria

5. Denmark

I know elite European clubs are already looking at Osimhen but make our boy use him head ooo

Regular playing time should be paramount in making a choice....money is secondary (although also important)

Looking back at the match highlights again, I think Awaziem may have been exposed a couple of times too

Victor Osimhen is a beast. 2goals 2 assists!

But now we need a deputy. For me Onuachu is not an option.
Exactly bros. As i said earlier, I don't even mind drafting Olayinka or Bona to deputise for him

forgiveness:
Very impressive scoreline though it could have been more than that due to missed chances. However, the team still lacks in some certain areas. Especially, the wing backs, where we were exposed several times and conceded the first goal from the right back.

Aina should be moved back to his natural position while we look at Chima Okoroji for redemption at the LB. Pending the time we try him, Idowu should be allowed to play on the LB. He is better than Collins both defensively and offensively.

Rohr should also look for a back up for Aina and Oshimen. I suggest Kingsley Ehizibue be given a look at. He seems to be more attack minded than Ebuehi. I have not written off Ebuehi oooo.

On the other hand, we need a better back up for Oshimen. We don't need to realize or start looking for one during crises.

Moreover, Iwobi's position needs a better player.
Exactly bro

Philosopher1979:
I THINK ROHR SHOULD STAY UNTIL 2022 WORLD CUP.
THAT WAY HE WILL BUILD A STRONG TEAM
HE HAS TRIED AND HE AT LEAST HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER
WE SHOULD JUST WORK ON THE FACT THAT HE SHOULD LIVE IN NIGERIA
AND TRY AND USE HOME BASED PLAYERS.
LET US LEAVE HIM AS COACH
I WANT TO KNOW PEOPLE'S OPINION ON THIS.
SHOULD ROHR STAY UNTIL 2022 WORLD CUP OR LEAVE NEXT YEAR
I PERSONALLY BELEIVE HE SHOULD STAY AS THE ADVANTAGES
ARE MORE THAN THE DISADVANTAGES.
HE SEEMS TO BE BUILDING A STRONG TEAM THAT CAN DOMINATE AFRICAN
AND WORLD FOOTBALL FOR SOME TIME TO COME
Even if they are not good enough?

It isn't Rohr's responsibility to pander to the whims of an NFF and LMC that refused to improve on the NPFL quality

2 back to back matches for Akpeyi with good rating and no errors from him.

Interesting

We played against teams we are supposed to beat and ................

Osimhen Masterclass, Aina oozing Elite Wingback class, Chukwueze-Osimhen Combo, Ndidi Midfield Marshal, Awaziem Solid, Azeez sweet assist, Iwobi creativity and quick link up plays and more all found in the clip.... Enjoy (for those especially who missed it).

The Highlights... 10mins +

I hope Osimhen continues this way but I worry about burnout

I will prefer Rohr draft in Olayinka or Bona to help shoulder some responsibilities upfront

Onuachu is a no-no

We need more reinforcements in the defence and GK departments as well

Good win for us all the same

Yup. Would be hellish getting him to switch now. Even if we do begin his allegiance switch today, it would take months before he is finally cleared to play for us.

We need more depth in competition. I'm not rubbishing Omeruo and co.
I was speaking with Andrew the other day about Tue need to strengthen out defence because we have been conceding too much this pas few days but he disagreed citing the facts that every team concedes goals too.

I hope today's match is an eye opener

Musa's invitation came too early. Let the guy recover and be back to top form first. The likes of Olayinka, Ejuke, Dennis are in top form and should be giving a fair chance now.

Musa and Iwobi are like NEPA light. You never know when they perform well and they are equally as lethargic

And they want us to sack the coach of the Only functional team we have, so that they can employ the serial local failures to infect the team with their failures.
No mins those clamoring for Rohr sack. He might not be very tactical bit he's the best we've had in a while for the Super Eagles
